Episode #124: The Symbionese Liberation Army & A Vintage Arcadia Xmas

Join us this month as we talk with author Brad Schreiber about his book Revolution’s End: The Patty Hearst Kidnapping, Mind Control, and the Secret History of Donald DeFreeze and the SLA and the upcoming Esotouric bus tour inspired by his research. We’ll also visit with Linda Jensen and her son Adam Wadlow, multi-year winners of an Arcadia Beautiful Holiday Decoration Award for their astonishing display of vintage, illuminated Blow-Mold plastic figures. (October 2018 update: Hallowe’en decoration photos!)

After just 18 months of service, the restored Van De Kamp’s windmill fell off its tower. We just saw it in action.
